Is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1). When the target country is changed with such a banknote handling apparatus, there is a problem that it is necessary to newly download money identification data. Further, when the currency identification data of the target country is not recorded on the external storage medium, it is necessary to prepare a new external storage medium.
　一方、半導体技術の進歩に伴い、記憶デバイスの小型化、大容量化が進み、小型の紙幣処理装置であっても、大容量の記憶デバイスを搭載できるようになっている。これを利用して、多数のユーザの要求に応えるため、紙幣処理装置に多数の貨幣識別データを記憶させておくことが考えられる。しかし、この場合、貨幣を多数の貨幣識別データと照合することになり、処理速度が低下するという問題があった。 On the other hand, with the advancement of semiconductor technology, the storage device has been reduced in size and capacity, and even a small banknote processing apparatus can be equipped with a large-capacity storage device. In order to respond to requests of a large number of users using this, it is conceivable to store a large number of currency identification data in the banknote handling apparatus. However, in this case, there is a problem in that the processing speed decreases because the currency is collated with a large number of currency identification data.

　以下、本発明の実施の形態を図面に基づいて説明する。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
　 （第１の実施形態）図１は第１の実施形態による紙幣処理装置の断面図であり、図２は紙幣処理装置のブロック構成図である。 (First Embodiment) FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a banknote handling apparatus according to the first embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a block configuration diagram of the banknote handling apparatus.
　図１、図２に示すように、紙幣処理装置は、筐体１と、投入された紙幣を１枚ずつ装置内に取り込む受入部３１と、受入部３１により取り込まれた紙幣を筐体１内で搬送する搬送部２１と、搬送部２１により搬送される紙幣を識別する識別部２５と、識別できない紙幣、搬送異常紙幣、偽券等を集積するリジェクト部３８と、識別部２５により識別された紙幣を集積する集積部３９と、表示画面を有する表示部３６と、複数国の通貨に対応する複数の紙幣識別データを記憶する記憶部８０と、を備えている。紙幣識別データは、識別部２５が紙幣を識別するために用いるデータであり、詳しくは後述する。 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the banknote handling apparatus includes a housing 1, a receiving unit 31 that takes in the inserted banknotes into the device one by one, and a banknote that is taken in by the receiving unit 31 in the housing 1. The identification unit 25 identifies the conveyance unit 21 that conveys the banknote, the identification unit 25 that identifies the banknotes conveyed by the conveyance unit 21, the reject unit 38 that accumulates unidentifiable banknotes, abnormally conveyed banknotes, counterfeits, and the like. A stacking unit 39 for stacking banknotes, a display unit 36 having a display screen, and a storage unit 80 for storing a plurality of banknote identification data corresponding to currencies of a plurality of countries are provided. The banknote identification data is data used by the identification unit 25 to identify a banknote, and will be described in detail later.
　ここで、搬送異常とは、紙幣が斜めに搬送されている（斜行）状態、複数の紙幣が重なって搬送されている（重送）状態、紙幣が所定間隔をあけずに搬送されている（連鎖）状態などをいう。 Here, the conveyance abnormality is a state in which banknotes are transported obliquely (slanting), a state in which a plurality of banknotes are stacked and transported (double feed), and banknotes are transported without a predetermined interval. (Chain) state.
　また、紙幣処理装置は、ユーザからの操作を受け付ける操作部３５と、操作部３５が受け付けた操作及び後述する所定の基準に基づいて、記憶部８０に記憶されている紙幣識別データを複数選択してグループ化する選択部７０とを備えている。 Moreover, the banknote processing apparatus selects a plurality of banknote identification data stored in the storage unit 80 based on an operation unit 35 that receives an operation from the user, an operation received by the operation unit 35, and a predetermined standard that will be described later. And a selection unit 70 for grouping.
　さらに、紙幣処理装置は、各部の制御を行う制御部１０を備えている。 Furthermore, the banknote handling apparatus includes a control unit 10 that controls each unit.
　図３を用いて、紙幣識別データについて説明する。図３に示すように、記憶部８０は、ＵＳドル、日本円、ユーロなど多数の国の通貨に対応する紙幣識別データを記憶している。なお、「国」にはＥＵなども含まれている。 The banknote identification data will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, the storage unit 80 stores banknote identification data corresponding to the currencies of many countries such as US dollars, Japanese yen, and euros. “Country” includes EU and the like.
　１つの紙幣識別データは、各金種に対応した金種識別データを有している。例えば、ＵＳドルの紙幣識別データは、１ドル、２ドル、５ドル、１０ドル、２０ドル、５０ドル、１００ドルの７金種に対応した金種識別データを有する。また、例えば、日本円の紙幣識別データは、１０００円、２０００円、５０００円、１００００円の４金種に対応した金種識別データを有する。 One bill identification data has denomination identification data corresponding to each denomination. For example, US dollar banknote identification data includes denomination identification data corresponding to seven denominations of $ 1, $ 2, $ 5, $ 10, $ 20, $ 50, and $ 100. In addition, for example, the banknote identification data for Japanese yen has denomination identification data corresponding to four denominations of 1000 yen, 2000 yen, 5000 yen, and 10000 yen.
　次に、選択部７０による紙幣識別データのグループ化について説明する。本実施形態において、選択部７０は、所定の基準に基づいて、複数の通貨についての紙幣識別データをグループ化する。ここで、所定の基準は、１つのグループに含むことができる金種識別データの数の上限値である。所定の基準についての情報は、例えば記憶部８０に記憶されている。 Next, grouping of banknote identification data by the selection unit 70 will be described. In this embodiment, the selection part 70 groups the banknote identification data about several currencies based on a predetermined reference | standard. Here, the predetermined reference is an upper limit value of the number of denomination identification data that can be included in one group. Information about the predetermined reference is stored in the storage unit 80, for example.
　紙幣識別データのグループ化の一例について説明する。記憶部８０には、以下の表１に示すように、ＵＳドル、円、ユーロ、元、ポンド、スイスフランなどの２４個の紙幣識別データが記憶されており、１つのグループに含むことができる金種識別データの数の上限値は６４とする。表１における金種数は金種識別データの数に対応する。また、香港ドルは図柄の異なる紙幣が３つの銀行により発行されているため、３つの紙幣識別データが存在する。
Figure JPOXMLDOC01-appb-T000001
 An example of grouping of banknote identification data will be described. As shown in Table 1 below, the storage unit 80 stores 24 banknote identification data such as US dollar, yen, euro, yuan, pound, and Swiss franc, and can be included in one group. The upper limit of the number of denomination identification data is 64. The number of denominations in Table 1 corresponds to the number of denomination identification data. Further, since banknotes with different symbols are issued by three banks in Hong Kong dollars, there are three banknote identification data.
Figure JPOXMLDOC01-appb-T000001
　例えば、ＵＳドル、円、ユーロ、元、ポンド、スイスフラン、カナダドル、豪ドル、ＮＺドル、シンガポールドル、ルーブルの紙幣識別データを選択した場合、金種識別データの合計は６２（＝７＋４＋７＋６＋４＋６＋５＋５＋５＋７＋６）となる。上限値は６４であるため、これらの紙幣識別データはグループ化することができる。なお、この場合、これ以上の紙幣識別データを選択することはできない。 For example, if US dollar, yen, euro, yuan, pound, Swiss franc, Canadian dollar, Australian dollar, NZ dollar, Singapore dollar, ruble banknote identification data is selected, the total denomination identification data is 62 (= 7 + 4 + 7 + 6 + 4 + 6 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 7 + 6) It becomes. Since the upper limit value is 64, these banknote identification data can be grouped. In this case, no more banknote identification data can be selected.
　識別部２５は、このようにしてグループ化された紙幣識別データを用いて紙幣の識別を行う。具体的には、識別部２５は、搬送部２１により搬送されてきた紙幣の特徴（サイズや画像）を取得し、グループ化された紙幣識別データに含まれる金種識別データの各々と照合する。識別部２５は、取得した紙幣の特徴が、金種識別データに合致した場合、搬送されてきた紙幣の通貨や金種等を識別することができる。一方、グループ化された紙幣識別データに含まれる金種識別データに、取得した特徴と合致するものが無い場合、識別部２５はこの紙幣を識別することができない。 The identification unit 25 identifies banknotes using the banknote identification data grouped in this way. Specifically, the identification unit 25 acquires the characteristics (size and image) of the banknotes that have been transported by the transport unit 21 and collates with each of the denomination identification data included in the grouped banknote identification data. The identification part 25 can identify the currency, denomination, etc. of the conveyed banknote when the characteristics of the acquired banknote match the denomination identification data. On the other hand, if there is no denomination identification data included in the grouped banknote identification data that matches the acquired characteristics, the identification unit 25 cannot identify the banknote.
　次に、本実施形態による紙幣処理方法について図４に示すフローチャートを用いて説明する。 Next, the banknote processing method according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.
　（ステップＳ１０１）ユーザが、識別を望む通貨を指定する。例えば、図５に示すように、操作部３５及び表示部３６がタッチパネル４０で構成され、このタッチパネル４０に、記憶部８０に紙幣識別データが記憶されている通貨の一覧が表示される。ユーザは、タッチパネル４０上の、通貨指定キー４１に触れることで、通貨を指定する。 (Step S101) The user designates a currency to be identified. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 5, the operation unit 35 and the display unit 36 are configured by a touch panel 40, and a list of currencies in which banknote identification data is stored in the storage unit 80 is displayed on the touch panel 40. The user designates the currency by touching the currency designation key 41 on the touch panel 40.
　また、図５に示すように、タッチパネル４０（表示部３６）には、所定の基準である１つのグループに含むことができる金種識別データの数の上限値、既選択の紙幣識別データに含まれる金種識別データの合計数、上限値から合計数を減じた金種余裕値が表示される。図５に示す例では、ＵＳドルの紙幣識別データが既に選択されている。 As shown in FIG. 5, the touch panel 40 (display unit 36) includes an upper limit value of the number of denomination identification data that can be included in one group that is a predetermined reference, and is included in selected banknote identification data. The denomination margin value obtained by subtracting the total number from the total number of denomination identification data and the upper limit value is displayed. In the example shown in FIG. 5, US dollar bill identification data has already been selected.
　（ステップＳ１０２）ステップＳ１０１で指定された通貨の金種数が金種余裕値以下であればステップＳ１０３へ進み、金種余裕値より大きい場合はステップＳ１０４へ進む。 (Step S102) If the number of denominations of the currency specified in step S101 is less than or equal to the denomination margin value, the process proceeds to step S103, and if greater than the denomination margin value, the process proceeds to step S104.
　（ステップＳ１０３）選択部７０が、ステップＳ１０１で指定された通貨に対応する紙幣識別データを選択する。これにより、図６に示すように、タッチパネル４０（表示部３６）に表示される合計数や金種余裕値が変化する。また、既選択の通貨の通貨指定キー４１の色が変わる。 (Step S103) The selection unit 70 selects banknote identification data corresponding to the currency designated in Step S101. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 6, the total number and denomination margin value which are displayed on the touch panel 40 (display part 36) change. In addition, the color of the currency designation key 41 of the already selected currency changes.
　（ステップＳ１０４）通貨の指定が終了した場合、ユーザはタッチパネル４０上の確定キー４２を押し、ステップＳ１０５へ進む。通貨の指定を継続する場合はステップＳ１０１に戻る。 (Step S104) When the designation of the currency is completed, the user presses the confirmation key 42 on the touch panel 40, and proceeds to Step S105. When continuing the designation of the currency, the process returns to step S101.
　（ステップＳ１０５）選択部７０が、既選択の紙幣識別データをグループ化する。このようにしてグループ化された複数の紙幣識別データに含まれる金種識別データの合計数は、所定の上限値以下になる。グループ化された紙幣識別データは記憶部８０又は他の記憶部に記憶される。 (Step S105) The selection unit 70 groups selected banknote identification data. The total number of denomination identification data included in the plurality of banknote identification data grouped in this way becomes a predetermined upper limit value or less. The grouped banknote identification data is stored in the storage unit 80 or another storage unit.
　（ステップＳ１０６）ユーザが、紙幣処理装置の受入部３１に通貨及び金種が混合された紙幣を投入する。 (Step S106) The user inserts a bill in which currency and denomination are mixed into the receiving unit 31 of the bill processing apparatus.
　（ステップＳ１０７）受入部３１が紙幣を１枚ずつ取り込む。 (Step S107) The receiving unit 31 takes in banknotes one by one.
　（ステップＳ１０８）識別部２５が、ステップＳ１０５でグループ化された紙幣識別データを用いて、紙幣の識別を行う。識別部２５は、この紙幣の特徴（サイズや画像）を取得し、グループ化された紙幣識別データに含まれる金種識別データの各々と照合する。 (Step S108) The identification unit 25 identifies banknotes using the banknote identification data grouped in step S105. The identification part 25 acquires the characteristic (size or image) of this banknote, and collates with each denomination identification data contained in the grouped banknote identification data.
　この紙幣が、紙幣識別データがグループ化された通貨のいずれかである場合、識別部２５は、この紙幣の金種等を識別することができる。一方、この紙幣が、紙幣識別データがグループ化された通貨のいずれでもない場合、識別部２５は、この紙幣を識別することができない。 When the banknote is one of the currencies in which the banknote identification data is grouped, the identification unit 25 can identify the denomination and the like of the banknote. On the other hand, when the banknote is not one of the currencies in which the banknote identification data is grouped, the identification unit 25 cannot identify the banknote.
　例えば、ステップＳ１０５においてドル、円、ユーロ及び元の紙幣識別データがグループ化され、ステップＳ１０７において受入部３１により取り込まれた紙幣がユーロ紙幣である場合、識別部２５は紙幣を識別することができる。一方、ステップＳ１０７において受入部３１により取り込まれた紙幣がポンド紙幣である場合、識別部２５は紙幣を識別することができない。 For example, when the dollar, yen, euro, and original banknote identification data are grouped in step S105 and the banknote captured by the receiving unit 31 in step S107 is a euro banknote, the identification unit 25 can identify the banknote. . On the other hand, when the banknote taken in by the receiving part 31 in step S107 is a pound banknote, the identification part 25 cannot identify a banknote.
　（ステップＳ１０９）ステップＳ１０８において識別部２５により識別された紙幣が集積部３９に集積され、識別されなかった紙幣がリジェクト部３８に集積される。 (Step S109) The banknotes identified by the identification unit 25 in step S108 are accumulated in the accumulation unit 39, and the banknotes not identified are accumulated in the reject unit 38.
　（ステップＳ１１０）全ての紙幣が取り込まれた場合はステップＳ１１１へ進み、受入部３１に紙幣が残っている場合はステップＳ１０７へ戻る。 (Step S110) If all banknotes have been taken, the process proceeds to step S111, and if banknotes remain in the receiving unit 31, the process returns to step S107.
　（ステップＳ１１１）識別部２５により識別された紙幣の計数結果が表示部３６に表示される。例えば、表示部３６が、通貨別に紙幣の計数結果を表示する。表示される計数結果は、金種別枚数、合計枚数、合計金額等である。さらに、識別部２５が識別できなかった紙幣の枚数が表示されてもよい。なお、紙幣の計数は、識別部２５が行ってもよいし、制御部１０が行ってもよい。 (Step S111) The counting result of the banknote identified by the identification unit 25 is displayed on the display unit 36. For example, the display unit 36 displays the bill counting result for each currency. The displayed count results are the number of denominations, the total number, the total amount, and the like. Furthermore, the number of banknotes that could not be identified by the identification unit 25 may be displayed. The counting of banknotes may be performed by the identification unit 25 or the control unit 10.
　本実施形態では、ユーザにより指定された複数の通貨の紙幣識別データをグループ化し、識別部２５は、このグループ化された紙幣識別データを用いることで、複数種類の通貨や金種が混合された紙幣の識別を行うことができる。また、ユーザが指定した通貨の紙幣識別データに含まれる金種識別データのみを用い紙幣を照合し、それ以外の金種識別データと紙幣の照合は行わないので、処理速度が低下することを防止できる。さらに、１つのグループに含まれる金種識別データの数が所定の上限値以下になっているため、ステップＳ１０８において識別部２５が照合に用いる金種識別データの数が所定の上限値以下になり、処理速度を一定のレベル以上に保つことができる。 In this embodiment, the banknote identification data of the some currency designated by the user are grouped, and the identification part 25 mixed several types of currencies and denominations using this grouped banknote identification data. The bill can be identified. Moreover, since only the denomination identification data included in the banknote identification data of the currency designated by the user is used to check the banknote, and the other denomination identification data is not checked against the banknote, the processing speed is prevented from being lowered. it can. Furthermore, since the number of denomination identification data included in one group is equal to or less than a predetermined upper limit value, the number of denomination identification data used for verification by the identification unit 25 in step S108 is equal to or less than the predetermined upper limit value. The processing speed can be kept above a certain level.
　このように本実施形態によれば、多数の国の通貨に対応し、かつ所定の速度以上で紙幣処理を行うことができる。 As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to perform banknote processing at a predetermined speed or more, corresponding to the currencies of many countries.
　上記実施形態において、所定の基準である１つのグループに含むことができる金種識別データの数の上限値は、固定値でもよいし、対応通貨数と処理速度のどちらを優先するかに基づいて設定されるようにしてもよい。例えば、通常モードでは上限値を５０、対応通貨数優先モードでは上限値を６４、処理速度優先モードでは上限値を３０とし、モードを指定することで上限値が設定されるようにしてもよい。 In the above embodiment, the upper limit value of the number of denomination identification data that can be included in one group as a predetermined reference may be a fixed value, or based on whether priority is given to the number of corresponding currencies or the processing speed. It may be set. For example, the upper limit value may be set by specifying the mode by setting the upper limit value to 50 in the normal mode, the upper limit value to 64 in the corresponding currency number priority mode, and the upper limit value to 30 in the processing speed priority mode.
　（第２の実施形態）上記第１の実施形態では、ユーザが所望の通貨を指定し、選択部７０が、金種識別データの数が所定の上限値以下に収まる範囲で、ユーザにより指定された通貨に対応する紙幣識別データをグループ化していた。これに対し、本実施形態では、あらかじめ、金種識別データの合計数が所定の上限値以下となっている複数の紙幣識別データのグループを複数準備し、いずれか１つのグループを選択する。紙幣処理装置の構成は図１、図２に示す上記第１の実施形態と同様である。 (Second Embodiment) In the first embodiment, the user designates a desired currency, and the selection unit 70 is designated by the user within a range in which the number of denomination identification data falls within a predetermined upper limit value. Bill identification data corresponding to different currencies was grouped. On the other hand, in this embodiment, a plurality of banknote identification data groups in which the total number of denomination identification data is equal to or less than a predetermined upper limit value are prepared in advance, and any one group is selected. The configuration of the banknote handling apparatus is the same as that of the first embodiment shown in FIGS.
　本実施形態では、例えば、図７に示すように、記憶部８０に、複数国の通貨に対応する複数の紙幣識別データを含む複数のグループＧ１～Ｇ６が記憶されている。図７は、１つのグループに含むことができる金種識別データの数の上限値が５０であるとする。 In this embodiment, for example, as shown in FIG. 7, the storage unit 80 stores a plurality of groups G1 to G6 including a plurality of banknote identification data corresponding to currencies of a plurality of countries. In FIG. 7, it is assumed that the upper limit value of the number of denomination identification data that can be included in one group is 50.
　例えば、グループＧ１は、ＵＳドル、円、ユーロ、元、ポンド、スイスフランの紙幣識別データからなり、金種識別データの合計数は３４である。また、グループＧ２は、ユーロ、ポンド、スイスフラン、デンマーククローネ、スウェーデンクローナ、ノルウェークローネ、トルコリラ、ルーブルの紙幣識別データからなり、金種識別データの合計数は４４である。 For example, the group G1 is composed of banknote identification data of US dollar, yen, euro, yuan, pound, and Swiss franc, and the total number of denomination identification data is 34. The group G2 is composed of banknote identification data of euro, pound, Swiss franc, Danish krone, Swedish kronor, Norwegian krone, Turkish lira and ruble, and the total number of denomination identification data is 44.
　操作部３５及び表示部３６がタッチパネル４０で構成され、このタッチパネル４０に、図７に示すような、グループＧ１～Ｇ６が表示される。ユーザが、グループＧ１～Ｇ６のいずれか１つに対応するキーを押すと、選択部７０がユーザにより指定されたグループを選択する。識別部２５は、選択部７０が選択したグループに含まれる紙幣識別データを用いて、紙幣の識別を行う。 The operation unit 35 and the display unit 36 are configured by a touch panel 40, and groups G1 to G6 as shown in FIG. When the user presses a key corresponding to any one of the groups G1 to G6, the selection unit 70 selects a group designated by the user. The identification unit 25 identifies banknotes using the banknote identification data included in the group selected by the selection unit 70.
　各グループに含まれる金種識別データの数が所定の上限値以下になっているため、上記第１の実施形態と同様に、識別部２５が照合に用いる金種識別データの数が所定の上限値以下になり、処理速度が低下することを防止できる。 Since the number of denomination identification data included in each group is equal to or less than a predetermined upper limit value, the number of denomination identification data used for verification by the identification unit 25 is the predetermined upper limit as in the first embodiment. It is possible to prevent the processing speed from being lowered due to the lower value.
　このように本実施形態によれば、多数の国の通貨に対応し、かつ所定の速度以上で紙幣処理を行うことができる。 As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to perform banknote processing at a predetermined speed or more, corresponding to the currencies of many countries.
　上記第２の実施形態において、グループの選択後、金種識別データの数が所定の上限値以下に収まる範囲で、選択グループに他の通貨の紙幣識別データを追加したり、選択グループに含まれる紙幣識別データのいずれかを他の通貨の紙幣識別データに変更したり、消去したりしてもよい。 In the second embodiment, after selecting a group, banknote identification data of another currency is added to the selected group or included in the selected group within a range in which the number of denomination identification data falls within a predetermined upper limit value. Any of the banknote identification data may be changed to banknote identification data of another currency, or may be deleted.
　このように、選択グループに含まれる紙幣識別データの改変を行えるようにすることで、より多くのユーザの要求に応えることができる。 Thus, by making it possible to modify the banknote identification data included in the selected group, it is possible to meet the demands of more users.
　また、上記第２の実施形態において、２つ以上のグループを選択できるようにしてもよい。ただし、選択された複数グループに含まれる金種識別データの数が所定の上限値以下となる範囲で、２つ以上のグループが選択できるものとする。 In the second embodiment, two or more groups may be selected. However, it is assumed that two or more groups can be selected within a range in which the number of denomination identification data included in the selected plurality of groups is equal to or less than a predetermined upper limit value.
　上記第１、第２の実施形態において、識別対象紙幣と、第１通貨の紙幣識別データとの照合に要する時間が、識別対象紙幣と、第２通貨の紙幣識別データとの照合に要する時間よりも長い場合、第１通貨に重み値を設定し、１グループに含まれる金種識別データの合計数を算出する際、第１通貨については、重み付けされた金種識別データの数を用いるようにしてもよい。 In the first and second embodiments, the time required for collation between the identification target banknote and the banknote identification data of the first currency is longer than the time required for verification of the identification target banknote and the banknote identification data of the second currency. Is too long, a weight value is set for the first currency, and when calculating the total number of denomination identification data included in one group, the weighted number of denomination identification data is used for the first currency. May be.
　例えば、円紙幣は金種によって大きさが異なるため、紙幣の大きさによって金種が特定されるため、照合に要する時間が短い。一方、ＵＳドル紙幣は各金種の大きさが同じため、各金種識別データとの照合が必要となり、照合に時間がかかる。そのため、ＵＳドルに重み値Ｗ（Ｗ＞１）を設定する。例えば、ＵＳドル、円、ユーロ、元、ポンド、スイスフランの紙幣識別データからなるグループの金種識別データの合計数は７×Ｗ＋２７となる。 For example, since the size of a yen banknote varies depending on the denomination, the denomination is specified by the size of the banknote, so the time required for verification is short. On the other hand, since the size of each denomination is the same in US dollar bills, it is necessary to collate with each denomination identification data, and it takes time to collate. Therefore, a weight value W (W> 1) is set for the US dollar. For example, the total number of denomination identification data of a group consisting of banknote identification data of US dollar, yen, euro, yuan, pound, and Swiss franc is 7 × W + 27.
　このような重み付けを行うことで、所定の速度以上で紙幣処理を行うための紙幣識別データのグループ化を、より確実に行うことができる。 By performing such weighting, it is possible to more reliably perform grouping of banknote identification data for performing banknote processing at a predetermined speed or higher.
　上記第１、第２の実施形態では、紙幣識別データをグループ化する際の基準に、１つのグループに含むことができる金種識別データの数の上限値を用いていたが、１つのグループに含むことができる紙幣識別データの合計データ量の上限値としてもよい。識別部２５が照合に用いる紙幣識別データの合計データ量を所定の上限値以下とすることでも、処理速度の低下を防止できる。 In the said 1st, 2nd embodiment, although the upper limit of the number of the money type identification data which can be contained in one group was used for the reference | standard at the time of grouping banknote identification data, it is in one group. It is good also as an upper limit of the total data amount of the banknote identification data which can be included. The reduction in processing speed can also be prevented by setting the total amount of banknote identification data used for verification by the identification unit 25 to a predetermined upper limit value or less.
　また、各通貨の紙幣識別データについて、識別部２５が１枚の紙幣の照合に要する時間が分かっている場合は、紙幣識別データをグループ化する際の基準を、１枚の紙幣の識別に使用可能な時間の上限値Ｔとしてもよい。すなわち、識別部２５が１枚の紙幣の照合に要する時間の合計が上限値Ｔ以下に収まるように、紙幣識別データをグループ化する。 Moreover, about the banknote identification data of each currency, when the recognition part 25 knows the time required for collation of one banknote, the reference | standard at the time of grouping banknote identification data is used for identification of one banknote. It is good also as upper limit T of possible time. That is, the banknote identification data is grouped so that the total time required for the identification unit 25 to collate one banknote falls within the upper limit T.
　また、図８に示すように、認証を受け付ける認証部９０をさらに設け、記憶部８０に記憶されている紙幣識別データのうち、認証部９０が受け付けた認証に対応する紙幣識別データの選択を許可するようにしてもよい。例えば、紙幣処理装置の出荷時は、表１に示す紙幣識別データの一部のみが選択可能である。ユーザは、他の通貨の紙幣識別データの使用を望む場合、その通貨に対応するライセンスフィーを支払い、認証コード（例えばパスワード）の発行を受け、紙幣処理装置に認証コードを入力する。認証部９０は、選択部７０に対し、入力された認証コードに対応する通貨の紙幣識別データの選択を許可する。 Moreover, as shown in FIG. 8, the authentication part 90 which receives authentication is further provided, and selection of the banknote identification data corresponding to the authentication which the authentication part 90 received among the banknote identification data memorize | stored in the memory | storage part 80 is permitted. You may make it do. For example, when the banknote handling apparatus is shipped, only a part of the banknote identification data shown in Table 1 can be selected. When the user desires to use banknote identification data of another currency, the user pays a license fee corresponding to the currency, receives an issuance of an authentication code (for example, a password), and inputs the authentication code to the banknote processing apparatus. The authentication unit 90 permits the selection unit 70 to select currency bill identification data corresponding to the input authentication code.
　上記第１、第２の実施形態において、１つの通貨について、新券に対応する紙幣識別データと、旧券に対応する紙幣識別データとをそれぞれ準備するようにしてもよい。また、ミスプリント紙幣が流通している通貨については、ミスプリント紙幣の紙幣識別データを準備するようにしてもよい。 In the first and second embodiments, banknote identification data corresponding to a new ticket and banknote identification data corresponding to an old ticket may be prepared for each currency. Moreover, you may make it prepare the banknote identification data of a misprint banknote about the currency in which the misprint banknote is distribute | circulating.
　上記第１、第２の実施形態では、選択部７０による選択は通貨単位（紙幣識別データ単位）であったが、金種単位（金種識別データ単位）で選択できるようにしてもよい。例えば、紙幣識別データのグループ化にあたり、１０００円、５０００円、１００００円の金種識別データを選択し、２０００円の金種識別データを選択しない。この場合、紙幣処理の結果、１０００円紙幣、５０００円紙幣、１００００円紙幣は集積部３９に集積され、２０００円紙幣はリジェクト部３８に集積される。 In the first and second embodiments described above, the selection by the selection unit 70 is made in currency units (banknote identification data units), but may be made selectable in denomination units (denomination identification data units). For example, when grouping banknote identification data, denomination identification data of 1000 yen, 5000 yen, and 10000 yen are selected, and denomination identification data of 2000 yen is not selected. In this case, as a result of banknote processing, 1000-yen banknotes, 5000-yen banknotes, and 10000-yen banknotes are accumulated in the accumulating unit 39, and 2000-yen banknotes are accumulated in the reject unit 38.
　なお、本発明は上記実施形態そのままに限定されるものではなく、実施段階ではその要旨を逸脱しない範囲で構成要素を変形して具体化できる。また、上記実施形態に開示されている複数の構成要素の適宜な組み合わせにより、種々の発明を形成できる。例えば、実施形態に示される全構成要素から幾つかの構成要素を削除してもよい。さらに、異なる実施形態にわたる構成要素を適宜組み合わせてもよい。 Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment as it is, and can be embodied by modifying constituent elements without departing from the scope of the invention in the implementation stage. In addition, various inventions can be formed by appropriately combining a plurality of components disclosed in the embodiment. For example, some components may be deleted from all the components shown in the embodiment. Furthermore, constituent elements over different embodiments may be appropriately combined.
